Runaway Crush
Stella Soleil Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I...carry a picture of you
In my mind
I...carry a memory
Of that time
Oh when you open me
Your why I breathe
You open me
And you take it away from me

And I believe

I'm feelin the ghost of your touch
Its like a runaway crush
I'm kissin the soft of your skin
Its like a runaway sin
I'm feelin the ghost of your touch
Its like a runaway crush

I...have a love affair
In my mind
I...wear your clothes
Like they were mine
Oh when you open me
Your why I breathe
Your open me
Come back you have the key
Your haunting me

I'm feelin the ghost of your touch
Its like a runaway crush
I'm kissin the soft of your skin
Its like a runaway sin
I'm feelin the ghost of your touch
Its like a runaway crush

Oh when you open me
Your why I breathe
You open me
Then you take it away from me
And I believe

I'm feelin the ghost of your touch
Its like a runaway crush
I'm kissin the soft of your skin
Its like a runaway sin
I'm feelin the ghost of your touch
The ghost of your touch
Is like a runaway crush

A runaway crush

The lyrics of Stella Soleil's song "Runaway Crush" describe the feeling of being haunted by a past love. The singer carries a picture and a memory of this person in their mind, and when they think of them, it feels like they are being opened up and taken away. The love affair exists only in the singer's mind, but they wear the person's clothes like they were their own. They are haunted by the ghost of their touch, which feels like a runaway crush or a runaway sin. The singer is left feeling breathless and unable to move on from this past love.

The chorus of the song repeats the feeling of being haunted by the ghost of the person's touch, as if it is a runaway crush that the singer cannot escape from. They kiss the softness of their skin, but it only adds to the feeling of being haunted, like it is a runaway sin they cannot control. Despite this, the singer still believes in the power of this past love to affect them in such a way. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and the mention of the runaway crush, leaving the listener with the lingering feeling of being haunted by a past love.
